Feeling frustrated with the scale not telling the whole story? If you’re ready for a smarter, more personalized way to track your weight loss progress, consider what DEXA scans can do for you. In his concierge medicine program in San Antonio, TX, fellowship-trained, board-certified internal medicine physician Dr. Douglas Hilbert uses in-office DEXA scans to reveal what’s truly happening inside your body, beyond just weight.

Why Body Composition Matters More Than Weight

When you step on a regular scale, you only see one number. That doesn’t indicate the percentage of your body that is fat, muscle, or anything else.

Our DEXA scan breaks that number down to focus on your actual health. The goal of healthy weight loss is to lose extra fat while preserving precious muscle, and your DEXA scan is an integral part of planning your weight loss program and tracking your progress.

What DEXA Scans Reveal

With a DEXA scan, you get detailed information on:

  • Body fat percentage
  • Lean muscle mass
  • Visceral fat around your organs, which is linked to heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and hypertension

This isn’t just about fitting into smaller clothes. It’s about protecting your long-term health.

Our in-office DEXA technology offers clinical-level accuracy. We use this advanced tool at the beginning of your program and throughout your care to adjust your nutrition, movement, and supplement plans. By seeing exactly where fat is stored and how muscle mass changes, we can make decisions that truly support your body’s needs.
